Lou's here. He was enjoying the sattelite base in ACY, until the union pulled the LOA. 21 days off, NO reserve, and 77 credit hours. (He still picked up some trips on his days off at 150%.)

And for "Ponch"(belliot):
Long story short, he took an airplane that the previous Capt. told him had a oil gauge problem (flickering). Had to come back to IAD. FAA got involved. Never was in the book. But the previous guy called ops to have MX meet the aircraft. FAA got wind of that too.
That's why when the previous crew comes in and says there is a problem with the aircraft, I say to put it in the book!!!
